Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I moved from Tokyo to Shizuoka.

I'll be heading back to Tokyo tomorrow.

I picked up my KenSco for the first time in a while and did some digging.

When I was young, just because I was young, I was always made to hold a shovel and clear out the dirt from the bottom of the ditch.

It's another round of earthwork at Hojiri.

This is really hard work, isn't it?

It's really tough.

We finished removing everything from all locations in a day and a half starting a few days ago, and then we’ll install the pressure-bearing plates.

But what really shocked me was that young people these days don't know how to use a shovel!!

How to Use a Shovel

Stick the Kensco (sword-shaped shovel) into the soil.

Use your body weight to drive the shovel deep into the ground with your foot.

We use the principle of leverage to turn over the soil.

Please scoop up the loosened soil.

ThisUsing the principle of leverage to turn over soilI didn't know that, did I?

Well, I guess if you just do it, you'll get the hang of it, but if I teach you a few little tricks, you'll do pretty well...

I hope they'll do it.

Using Tools AccuratelyNot only does this improve work efficiency, but it also makes the work a little easier.

It’s really important to think about how to make your work easier, isn’t it?

As you'd expect, I'm a little tired after a day of working with a shovel, lol (I just can't keep up with the young folks, lol).

Since I'm usually just typing away on the keyboard all the time, this was some good exercise...

See you later.
